I just installed 2.4.23-pre3 on one of our servers. If I up/down the loopback device multiple times ifconfig hangs on the second down (as in unkillable) and afterwards ifconfig stops functioning and I can't reboot the machine, etc. No oopses, kernel panics, messages or anything. The system is still alive, it is just as if some system call is hung. If anyone is interested, I can send my .config or any other relevant details. -- Regards Abraham "Consequences, Schmonsequences, as long as I'm rich." -- "Ali Baba Bunny" [1957, Chuck Jones] ___________________________________________________ Abraham vd Merwe - Frogfoot Networks CC 9 Kinnaird Court, 33 Main Street, Newlands, 7700 Phone: +27 21 686 1665 Cell: +27 82 565 4451 Http: http://www.frogfoot.net/ Email: abz@frogfoot.net - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
